Went through a car wash and both rear corners of the cab leaked enough that the water was gushing in. The headliner got soaked, if this hits electrical components it could short an electrical system possibly resulting in affected electrical components shutting down increasing the possibility of an accident. Or worse, could damage the SRS airbag located in the next to the rear seats. The file type of the pictures I have are not the format accepted so they will not upload.

I pulled up to park the truck. After put in park the 2017 Toyota Tacoma lunged forward. This caused the vehicle to hit a brick wall. There was almost $5950 in damage to the truck and the airbags did not go off. I watched myself crash into the wall and could not stop the truck.
